ANNOUNCER: Creed doesn't know where he is.
It's blind instinct.
[CROWD YELLING] [SOUNDS OF FIGHTING]
But now it is Creed coming back.
Creed with the left hand! What's keeping these two guys up?
A tremendous closing moment.
[###]
Here comes, Balboa back. But the champion back with another left.
[ROCKY AND APOLLO GRUNTING]
How they're getting up, I don't know!
A right hand! A right hand!
It's Creed! Now it's Balboa! Now it's Creed!
A tremendous left by Rocky. They're standing dead in the center of the ring, toe-to-toe.
[ADRIAN SHRIEKS]
One!
Two!
- Creed will retain the title.
If neither gets up it's a draw, and Creed will win the title.
Four!
Get up, my man.
[WHISPERS] Get up.
Six!
Each fighter is trying to beat the count.
Get up there!
Eight!
Nine!
The champ is down! Ten!
You're out!
He won!
He's done it at the last second!
Balboa got to his feet and made it! Rocky Balboa has shocked the world!
He is the new heavyweight champion of the world!
[BELL RINGING]
Ladies and gentlemen
in a stunning upset
scoring a win by a knockout
the new heavyweight champion of the world...
Rocky Balboa!
ROCKY: Excuse me. Excuse me.
I just want to say one thing
to my wife, who's home.
Yo, Adrian, I did it!
I love you. I love you.
CROWD: Rocky! Rocky!
[SURVIVOR'S "EYE OF THE TIGER" PLAYS]
[FIREWORKS WHISTLING]
[GRUNTING]
Hit him, Rocky!
[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]
Come on, come on! Bring it to me.
Come back. Come on. [INAUDIBLE]
I want Balboa! I want Balboa!
Hear that, old man? You tell Balboa I'm coming for him!
Nobody can beat me! You tell him what I said!
And he's next! I'm gonna kill him!
Nobody can stop me!
You tell Balboa that! I'm coming after him! You tell him!
I want a shot at the title. If Balboa's got the guts to meet me in the ring.
Or anywhere else.
My whole life's been directed towards this here title and nothing else.
I live alone and train alone. I'll win the title alone. I want him.
He can't duck me forever. He can run, but he can't hide.
Well, another southpaw
Heavyweight Champion Rocky Balboa
doesn't seem to be worried about much these days.
He's just defended his title for the 10th time
and now he's even agreed to take on the world heavyweight wrestling champion
in a sort of charity benefit, with all the proceeds to go to a local youth foundation.
Now, I'll have to give him credit.
Mr. Balboa manages to stay busy. He's a true sportsman.
And it looks like the number one contender, Clubber Lang,
will have to continue to play the waiting game.
But that should be a great, great matchup.
MAN 1: Paulie, take it easy.
MAN 2: Hey, you going?
Hey, hey. Don't forget to give Rocky my best.
You know, I've been coming here years.
How about you giving me, Paulie, your best once?
MAN 3: Take it easy, Paulie.
MAN 4: Hey, hey, Paulie. Hey, Paulie, you heard me?
When you see the Rock, tell him the boys all said, "Hey!"

[CELL DOOR SLAMS]
ROCKY: Paulie.
You want to hear I owe you? You, I owe nothing.
No, you don't owe me nothing.
So what do you want I should do?
My sister ain't here? She's home.
You know, me and her used to be tight until you come in.
I raise her, she don't come down.
She don't know about this.
You and her can go to hell, you know that?
Hey, watch your mouth, Paulie.
You gonna whack me? I don't sweat you.
I don't sweat you. Come on.
Oh, come on, Paul, why don't you screw your head on right.
No, it ain't my head. Your freaking head is the one on wrong!
Yeah?
Well, what did I do? What'd you do?
Nothing! For yourself, oh, nice!
You fixed your face up handsome. Nice clothes.
What did you do for Paulie? Anything?
Three years, did you get me a job?
Look at this. You gave me a lousy, stinking Ex-Lax watch. This!
Hey, Paulie. What?
What? There, that's right. No, leave it down!
It never kept good time anyway.
You know, you forget when you were a punk
and those guys used to laugh at you because you were so jive.
Who used to whack them bums out?
They laughed at both of us.
No one laughed at me.
Tell me. Who fixed you up with your first woman?
Me, Paulie! I was responsible!
She was pregnant.
So what? You was no prize either.
You know, I always give you. I give you.
What do you do? You buy a new house...
you move Mick in, right?
Did you ask me? Is there something the matter with me?
I got feelings, you know? This ain't cardboard.
Everybody's got them, Paulie.
The hell with everybody.
No, maybe it's the hell with you.
I don't wanna listen to this crap.
Well, you talk like everybody owes you a living.
Shut your mouth!
Nobody owes nobody nothing. You owe yourself.
You're wrong! Friends owe!
Friends don't owe! They do because they want to do.
Shut your freaking mouth. You been keeping me down!
Down?
You know, you're like a crazy brother to me. You really are.
So I want to tell you something.
This is coming straight from the heart, Paulie.
And I mean this.
You ain't down, and you ain't a loser.
You're just a jealous, lazy bum.
Okay, I'm gonna break your mouth.
I'm gonna bust your mouth up!
[YELLING AND GRUNTING]
Can I have a job?
All you had to do was ask.
[###]
You punch pretty good.
Think so? Oh, superb.
It cost a lot, huh? Yeah, a few bucks.
Got an extra one?
ADRIAN: Any trouble with Paulie tonight?
ROCKY: Nah, nothing unusual.
Are you really gonna fight that wrestler? They're so big.
That's all right, it'll be fun.
You mind if I serenade you a while?
Doo, doo, doo, doo Come on, it's your part.
What are you doing? Come on.
You can do it. No.
Doo, doo, doo, doo
Come on, Rocky, you're gonna wake the baby.
Adrian, come on, let's do a duet. Doo, doo, doo, doo
Doe, doe, doe, doe
No, no.
That's good, but it's not "doe, doe." It's doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doe, doo.
That's good, darling.
I've been told
Doo, doo, doo, doo
By people and they all
Doo, doo, doo, doo
Say they'd take me back
Take me back like before
What's the matter?
I don't know any more of that composition.
Maybe we're lucky.
Maybe we're very lucky. Very lucky.
[BOTH HUMMING]
MAN: Howdy, howdy, howdy, sports fans.
This is Dennis James with Jim Healy down here at ringside.
Tonight we have a most unlikely match for you.
The boxer against the wrestler, with all the proceeds going to charity.
What's your feelings about a boxer against a wrestler in the same ring?
Well, you know what the age-old theory is
that the wrestler, once he grabs that boxer, that's all she wrote.
What the hell goes on inside your head?
Anything normal functions?
Yeah, there's a few, there's a few.
I don't think so. Because to fight a creature like this
you gotta have about 100 pounds of brain damage.
I seen wrestlers that was bigger than dinosaurs. You ever fight a dinosaur, kid?
No, not lately. They can cause a variety of damage.
[MUSIC PLAYS]
The wrestling champion of the world is now entering the arena.
I tell you, he is quite a sight. All decked out in red.
Why are they carrying him?
He's walking.
Yeah.
[BOOING]
I'm coming after you, Balboa.
Let's call it off.
Oh, come on, it's for charity.
You're wearing your anatomy out for charity.
Nobody else does this much for charity.
Bob Hope would.
That's true.
Rocky, you better call Bob Hope.
To all my love slaves out there...
Thunderlips is here
in the flesh, baby!
Oh, my God!
The ultimate male versus
the ultimate meatball.
HEALY: Boy, he is a monster.
How much would you take even to get in the ring with him?
Would you like to start at Fort Knox?
In the white corner, an incredible sight.
Standing nearly seven feet...
weighing 390 pounds.
Large, ain't he?
That's the biggest arm in the world!
A man who calls himself "the ultimate object of desire."
"The mountain of molten lust."
The one, the only Thunderlips!
[CROWD BOOING]
You're all trash! You're all trash!
You're all trash!
The slugger from Philadelphia...
[BOOMING CHEERS]
You'd better shut up!
I'll break him in half.
How much do you think he eats?
About 202 pounds.
- weighing 202 pounds...
the reigning heavyweight champion of the world
Rocky Balboa.
RING ANNOUNCER: Come to the center of the ring, please.
Okay, come on, Mick.
All right, you guys, you know this is for fun
so take it easy and give them a good show.
Listen, after the match, how about we get a Polaroid together, okay?
[GROWLS] You're in trouble!
He got me mad. I'm gonna break him in half like this.
Seems like lately, everybody wants to beat me up.
MICK: This is entertainment. It's fun and games.
Make faces, move around the ring.
Got it, kid? All right. PAULIE: He is the ring.
MICK: I get nervous every time he does that.
[BELL DINGS] [ROARS]
Whoa. You move pretty fast for a big guy, you know that?
Listen, why don't we just move around a little bit? You know, like, give them a good show.
First I'll chase you and you chase me, okay?
How's that? All right? I'll go easy. Here you go.
That okay? MICK: Stay away from him!
Does that hurt? You all right?
How's that, okay? Not bad, huh?
[GRUNTS]
THUNDERLIPS: Come on, meatball. Come on!
[ROCKY GROANING]
Think it's all fake, meatball? All fake!
Thunderlips has gone absolutely berserk!
Ah!
Run for your life!
Life's tough, meatball!
Get up, boy! Come on, meatball, get some of this!
Rocko, remember the neighborhood!
Get out of his way!
No, no, no! Not yet, not for the meatball!
I'm not done with him yet.
If I can't break your spirit, I sure enough can break your back!
[CRACKS]
Is Daddy having fun?
Of course.
Somebody hand me a hatchet.
Holy smoke!
Here we go, baby! Lights out, meatball!
Ah!
Oh, my God! Balboa is really in pain.
No one can believe the superhuman strength of Thunderlips.
I am the man!
Stop him, will you?!
THUNDERLIPS: You want this punching bag?
Adrian!
Rocky! THUNDERLIPS: Then you got him!
ROCKY: Catch me!
JAMES: That's incredible!
Balboa was just heaved clear into the fifth row!
Now the fans are outraged too.
Now you got me mad! I'll drag him down the aisle like a dirty rag!
You weakling, Balboa!
Take it easy. Take it easy!
MAN: What is it, Mickey? You okay? It's my heart.
HEALY: The security guards are rushing out to stop this.
People are flying everywhere! Teeth are flying!
Cut my gloves off. You finished?
[GROWLS]
Come on, cut my gloves off!
That place is a zoo! This place has turned into a zoo!
Want me to get a doctor? You sure?
JAMES: The girls have gotten into it now. They're getting beat up.
Where are you going, you fool?
I'll be right back. You're a maniac! Come back here!
What are you doing?
Come back here!
Come on! You!
Get out of my way, worms! I'm coming up!
Come on! Come on!
[GRUNTING]
All right, Thunderlips, break it up!
No choking! No choking!
[YELLING]
Paulie, don't!
I don't sweat you.
Hang on there, kid!
How do you like it, huh?
You're kind of cute!
I don't need this.
JAMES: Rocky is out-and-out strangling him.
Rocky hanging on like a bull terrier. Now he's got him in a stranglehold.
CROWD: Rocky! Rocky!
The body!
Knock his block off!
ROCKY: Timber!
JAMES: It's unbelievable! Rocky actually did it!
The human skyscraper has been thrown out of the ring!
All right, that's it. Time is up.
[BELL RINGING]
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a draw. A draw.
Thank you all for attending this 12th annual charity match
between the Italian Stallion, Rocky Balboa
and Thunderlips, the ultimate male.
See you next year. Thank God.
Are you all right? Yeah, pretty good.
Good match.
Hey, why'd you get so crazy on me out there?
That's the name of the game.
Well, listen, while you're still calm, can we get that Polaroid together?
Yeah, sure.
Adrian, come on over here. This is my wife, Adrian. My kid.
That's Thunderlips. Would you do that?
That hurt. Okay, that's all right.
You know, sometimes charity really hurts.

And this Pinocchio, he told a lie, you see and his nose started growing real big.
Why didn't his ears grow?
I don't know. I didn't write the story there.
Are you fighting again?
Today? No, I don't plan on fighting today.
Promise? Promise. Definitely, I promise.
Good, I like you here.
Yeah? Well, I like being here. Are you getting hungry?
Huh? You want some breakfast? Yeah.
What do you want, Wheaties? Yeah.
What are Wheaties? Champions!
Breakfast of what? Champions! Champions.
[HONKS HORN]
ROCKY: And the father bear says, "Somebody's been sleeping in my bed."
And the little kid bear said, "Somebody's been sleeping in my bed
and there she is."
Thereby, he pulls back the covers and thereby exposing her to the, you know, public, see?
Come on, eat your cereal before it sinks. Hurry up.
Then what happened to Goldilocks?
Happened to her? I'm not exactly sure.
Busted for trespassing and got 30 days in the cooler.
Oh, that's real nice, Paulie. That's nice to tell the kid.
Rocky. Rocky, the car is waiting. Okay.
You guys better go.
Be a good boy, now. We'll have a fun time, me and the kid.
All right. PAULIE: Oh, Mrs. Stallion,
you almost look pretty good.
Oh, thank you, Paulie.
Don't give the kid any beer, all right?
Okay, we gotta go. Paulie, don't take him to the track, all right?
How you doing, Mick?
Pretty good.
Now, we got a problem in the seventh.
[PLAYING "GONNA FLY NOW"]
Whatever happened to them quiet, tender moments, huh?
Thank you. Thank you, one and all.
Every once in a while, a person comes along who defies the odds.
Who defies logic
and fulfils an incredible dream.
On behalf of all the citizens of Philadelphia
and the many who have been touched by your accomplishments
and your untiring participation in this city's many charity functions
it is with tremendous honor that we present this memorial
which will stand always as a celebration
to the indomitable spirit of man.
Philadelphia salutes its favorite son, Rocky Balboa!
It's beautiful.
Definitely a thing of beauty.
CROWD: Rocky! Rocky!
Thank you.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Thank you very much.
I don't know, what do you say to something like this?
About three years ago...
this city...
really took me inside, you know?
And I want to thank you very much for that. I really do.
And I been thinking that... I wasn't gonna bring this up
but I might as well, now.
I would never do anything to hurt this sport
that has been so really good to me.
I've been talking it over with my wife...
and my manager...
and we think that...
It's really hard to do this. I feel like...
I'm thinking maybe it's time that I should...
step down, maybe, and retire.
CROWD: No! No! No!
Getting out while you can?
Don't give this sucker no statue. Give him guts.
I told you I wasn't going away.
You got your shot, now give me mine.
Why don't you get the hell out of there!
Shut up, old man. I ain't going nowhere.
Why don't you tell all these nice folks why you been ducking me.
Politics, man. This country wants to keep me down.
Keep everybody weak.
They don't want a man like me to have the title because I'm not a puppet like that fool.
You know, you've got a big mouth.
Why don't you come down here and close it, Balboa? Come on!
Anytime.
He's crazy. Don't listen to him.
Little man don't wanna come to me
then I'll come to you people and lay out the truth.
I am ranked number one. One!
That means I'm the best.
But this bum is taking the easy matches, fighting other bums.
I'm telling you and everybody here
I'll fight him anywhere, anytime, for nothing.
CROWD: Fight him, Rock! Fight him!
But you people ain't never gonna see that happen because he's gonna retire.
You see? He don't fight no real man.
He fights them setups. What?
You're a disgrace to the sport.
Shut up, old man! You and that chump don't know where I had to come from.
Balboa, your family's doing real nice, ain't it?
You call yourself a fighter? Prove it now.
Give me the same chance.
The way he's been ducking me is a disgrace.
If he ain't no coward, why don't he fight me then?
I can't listen to any more of this... I don't care what you're ranked
you don't get no shot, and I mean that!
CLUBBER: I'm glad you people are seeing this.
What are you doing? I want to fight him.
Well, you got him.
But you'll fight him without me.
What are you saying? It's finished.
Yes, I'm finished. I don't want no more of this.
I don't want no more, you understand? None of it!
MICK: It's over with!
Hey, woman. Hey, woman! Listen here.
Since your man ain't got no heart, maybe you'd like to see a real man.
I bet you stay up late every night dreaming you had a real man, don't you?
I'll tell you what.
Bring your pretty little self over to my apartment tonight, and I'll show you a real man.
You want it, you got it! You got it, man!
[YELLING]
ADRIAN: Rocky, don't.
Come on, Rocky, please, let's go talk.
Adrian. Rocky, don't.
ADRIAN: Rocky!
Let's talk.
ROCKY: Why'd you leave?
Why'd you walk away like that?
Life's too short, kid.
Where you going?
I'm going on a permanent vacation.
What are you talking about? We got one more fight.
No, no. Not we, you.
Why are you doing this?
I said, why are you doing this?
Because you can't win, Rock!
This guy will kill you to death inside of three rounds!
You're crazy. What else is new?
He's just another fighter.
No, he ain't just another fighter.
This guy is a wrecking machine, and he's hungry!
Hell, you ain't been hungry since you won that belt!
Oh, what are you talking about? I've had 10 title defenses.
That was easy! What do you mean, easy?
They was hand-picked!
Setups? No, they weren't setups.
They was good fighters, but they wasn't killers like this guy.
He'll knock you into tomorrow, Rock.
Jeez, Mick.
Why'd you do it?
Because the beating that you got from Apollo should have killed you, kid.
It didn't. It was my job to keep you winning
and to keep you healthy.
You really don't think I got nothing left, do you?
Well, Rock...
let's put it this way:
Three years ago you was supernatural.
You was...
You was hard and you was nasty
and you had this cast-iron jaw.
But then the worst thing happened to you
that could happen to any fighter.
You got civilized. Yeah.
Oh, don't worry, kid.
You know, presidents retire, generals retire,
horses retire, Man o'War retired.
They put him out to stud.
That's what you should've done, retire.
I can't retire knowing all this, Mick.
Ah, don't push it. Well, you been carrying me.
We don't need it.
You been carrying me, though.
I haven't been carrying you. I been protecting you.
No. Look, I want this fight. Just one more.
We don't need it. I'll live in the gym.
We don't need it. Mick, I do.
I'm asking you to train me one last time.
Oh, no, I can't.
If you don't...
I'm gonna tell everybody you ain't bought a new pair of underwear in 10 years.
You would, wouldn't you?
Yeah, absolutely.
No, no.
Come on.
One more time, then it's over.
It's a deal? Come on, come on.
It's your head, kid. It's your head.
Yeah, it is.
Thanks, Mick.

Why did you rent this joint?
Oh, come on, Mickey. Let's go out in style, okay?
You wanna go out in style, go out in one piece!
Now, come on, let's get out of here!
Let's go back to the old gym, will you?
Let's get some blood and sweat and tears around you!
Can we do that? Hey, will you just relax and enjoy it?
They love it, Mick.

Go on, fight! Fight now, go ahead!
Fight it, fight it. Get rough, get tough.
Get brutal. That's it.
Excuse me. Could I get a kiss?
Yeah, sure.
Get out of here, will you?

Is that how you train for Clubber?
He ain't gonna kiss you. He's gonna kill you, you know that?

[MUSIC PLAYS IN DISTANCE]
That's it! Side to side!
Side to side, Rock! Si..!
Shut up back there, can't you? Change your tune or...
That's it. Pull front punches.
That's it, kid. You're a deadly weapon.
Time! Time, time, time. Quit it.
ROCKY: You're okay. Come on.
Here. Put this on before you catch pneumonia.
Okay. I'll give you a little rubdown too.
Yeah. And listen, kid.
I don't like to hear much of what comes out of people's mouth
and I don't like soft-talking moments.
That's for sure. But I just wanna tell you one thing:
That I'm proud of you.
Well, thanks a lot. That's all right, kid.
Let's get out of here, shall we? Hey, Mick.
Yeah?
What do you think we're gonna do when it's all over?
I don't know. Maybe join up with a circus or something.
Yeah, maybe. All right, let's get out.
[ROCKY HUMS CIRCUS MUSIC]
CROWD: Rocky! Rocky!
STU: Good evening. I'm Stu Nahan.
And we welcome you to tonight's heavyweight title fight
which may prove to be the most memorable of all.
For tonight is the champion's final and perhaps most difficult title defense.
Rocky, do you feel you're in the best shape of your career?
Oh, yeah, absolutely. I feel real good.
He's a deadly weapon, he's one of a kind. And he's gonna do it.
MAN 1: Clubber, do you think you're..?
I don't wanna do no talking.
MAN 2: Clubber, dance for us.
[CHATTERING]
I told you, you better get out of here! I want to be alone!
MAN 1: Will you retire after this fight?
Yeah, this is the last one for sure.
After this me and Mick are finished. This is definitely the last one.
You're all parasites and leeches. Get out of here!
MAN 2: What will you do after tonight?
I'm not sure.
Maybe join the circus, huh, Mick? Yeah, have some fun.
MAN 1: Come on, take your robe off. MAN 2: Come on, take off your robe!
I told you to get out of my face!
With us this evening is the former Heavyweight Champion of the World, Apollo Creed.
Do you have any predictions on this fight?
How do you see this fight going tonight?
Well, I feel that strength would have to go to the challenger
while experience and the world's hardest head would have to go to Rocky Balboa.
And you know I know that.
Now remember, Rock, don't trade with this guy.
Take your time. Wear him down.
But don't stand toe-to-toe with him. Mm-hm.
This punk's never been 15 rounds before.
Take him good. Okay.
Take him good. I will.
That's it.
So I predict that the champ's gonna take this one.
Now, wait a minute. You think really the champ can hit that hard?
Why do you think I'm here with you?
[CHATTERING AND WHISTLING]
Hey, sucker! Balboa, you gone, you finished!
You through! You washed up! I'm the baddest in the world!
You don't look so bad to me. What you say, paper champion?
I'm gonna beat you like a dog. A dog!
Can't you get that ape back into the ring?
You made me wait too long! You gonna pay!
Come on, mouth! CLUBBER: Get out of my way.
MICK: Get him out of there, can't you? Get him out of there!
[YELLING AND GRUNTING]
CLUBBER: Get out of my way! ROCKY: Back up.
CLUBBER: You know who I am? I'm the man! I'm the man!
You're dead meat! I'll meet you in the ring.
Get out of my way!
Let me go!
Ah! Rocky! Rocky!
Get off!
What's wrong? Mick.
What's wrong, Adrian? Get a doctor!
Somebody get a doctor! Come on!
Sit here, Mick. Get them out of here.
[REPORTERS CLAMORING]
Get them out of here!
Come on, will you sit on the table?
Mick? Mick! I'm all right.
Just take a deep breath. Get those guys out of here!
Move! Mick, will you sit on the t..?
Paulie, tell them the fight's off. Go on. Go on!
No! The fight's not off. What, are you out of your mind?
The fight's on. Are you crazy?
Mick, we can't. Not tonight. I ain't fighting...
Yes, tonight. We're gonna fight. Just let me get my breath. Can't I get my breath?
Is that against the rules or something?
Will you please get a doctor?
He's on his way.
Mick, I can't go out there and fight like this. I can't. I can't go out there.
Get out there. Get going, will you?
Take him. Take him good. Get it over with, why don't you?
Adrian, what am I supposed to do?
What the hell do you mean, what are you supposed to do?
After all these years together, you don't know what to do?
You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Now get out there and do it!

weighing in at an even 235 pounds.
The world's number one challenger, the undefeated
I wonder how Mick's doing. Clubber Lang.

[WHIMPERING]
RING ANNOUNCER: Now to give instructions in the middle of the ring, the referee, Marty Denkin.
Clubber, Rocky, you know the rules. I want a good, clean fight.
When I tell you to break, I want you to step back at my command and break.
Now, go back to the corner and come out fighting at the bell.
Dead meat.
BILL: This is not gonna be a fight of finesse.
These are two guys that really throw punches.
This could end with quite a punch. The chump is scared.
Scared. Tear him up.
See the look in his eyes?
Rocky, I'm no trainer. Just go out and kill the guy. Kill him, Rock.
He's scared.
I'm the new champion. I'm the new champion as of today. I'm the new champion as of today.
The Italian Stallion. A rugged champion in the final fight of his colorful career tonight.
STU: Jimmy London was correct. He looks like... Well, just great.
Here we go! Oh, boy, the champion came out swinging.
PAULIE: Break his head!
Balboa's off to an incredible start!
He looks determined to destroy the bigger challenger.
[GRUNTING]
Get in, get in! Move him back.
Defense!
BILL: They're going at each other!
Rock, you got him! You got him, Rock!
Double up! Double up!
Come on.
Come on, Balboa! Come on!
The challenger is hitting him with everything he's got.
Oh!
Come on, Balboa!
[BELL DINGING]
STU: Clubber away. Trying to get him back to his corner.
Grab him, Paulie.
Where's Mick? Where's Mick? He's okay.
I need him now. I need him here.
He ain't nothing. I told you he ain't nothing. He ain't nothing.
He's too strong.
Don't talk like that, Rocko.
Tear him up! I'm gonna smoke him.
I can't keep him off. I can't keep him off.
He's mine. He's mine! I'm gonna get him!
I'm losing it, Paulie. Where's Mick?
MAN 1: What do you got there? MAN 2: 200/50.
MAN 1: All right, let's start CPR.
Rock, you can do it. I'll try.
STU: Rocky appears to be staggering.
Yeah, I'll get him.
STU: Coming out of the corner, here comes Clubber.
Come on, Balboa! Come on!
Come on, oversized hick!
Let's see what you can do. Bring it to me!
Move on the inside!
The champion is helpless. My gosh, what a beating he's taking.
Don't stand toe-to-toe with him!
Come on, Balboa!
[ROARS]
Ah!

Out of the fight.
